Polygator GSM-equipment is capable of performing tasks not only for voice telephony but also for establishing full-scale SMS-solutions. By using GSM-gateways or GSM-cards it is possible to perform bulk SMS-sending and receiving of SMS in GSM and UMTS networks, execute USSD-requests and perform testing of mobile network services quality.

It is possible to integrate device in any system by protocols HTTP, SMPP, Email-SMS, AT-commands via TCP/IP directly to the GSM-modems and others. By using GSM-cards Polygator under IP-PBX Asterisk it is possible to work with SMS via SQLLite database or dialplan. In order to use the Gateway as QoS probe it is possible to setup custom script execution on each event. The script can be written on any scripting language supported by Linux Shell and will be executed each time event detected by software. For example, the system can perform HTTP-request to remote server each time SMS or Call received. Such HTTP-request may include additional information like caller number, IMSI of receiving SIM-card, data about BS and additional timing information.

For creating big-scale systems it is worth to consider the use of SMS-gateways with SIM-banks and SIM-server software. By using a SIM-bank you can save time on processing hundreds of SIM-cards, automatically perform SIM-card activation and using cheap SMS-plans. The system will automatically rotate SIM-cards in GSM-gateways in order to keep constant service availability. Additionally, Polygator SIM-server software can be controlled by external systems via an API.
